Zero Devices has introduced a new HDMI stick PC that offers a few nice improvements over the incredibly popular (in some circles, anyway) MK802. The Z902 still features an AllWinner A10 processor, but it has been paired up with 1GB of RAM instead of 512MB.

It also has an integrated HDMI port, unlike the MK802 which requires an HDMI cable to connect to an external display. The Z902 also provides a trio of USB ports for peripherals — one full-sized and two micro USB. Just 4GB of internal storage is supplied, but the microSD slot provides easy expandability.

Android 4.0 comes preinstalled, but you should also be able to get Ubuntu, Fedora, or any other ARM-friendly Linux distro that supports the A10 chip running on it. Network connectivity is provided by an Ralink 8188 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi adapter.

Zero Devices also offers up a handful of accessories for the Z902, including a pair of gesture-enabled remote controls (one with a QWERTY keypad), an array of wireless keyboards with touchpads, and an ultra-thin mouse.

How does it compare to the MK802 on price? It’s going to sell for $89 eventually, though Zero Devices is offering pre-orders of the Z902 for just $75. It’s due to ship by the end of the month, too, so you won’t have long to wait for your new Android stick PC.

Just 500 are up for grabs at the reduced price, so don’t dawdle if you like what you see. Then again, if you miss out it’s highly likely that a handful of similar devices with matching specs will pop up on sites like AliExpress very soon at the same price — if not slightly lower.
